granada spain
today is thursday and today is alhambra day, we visit the famous palace of granada up on the hill and the main big attraction of this city. It is huge, it's almost like a city with a ton of gardens and palaces and castles and viewpoints overlooking the rest of the city on that hill.
- woke up at 8 am ate two pieces of bread with butter and milk. Our meeting point was the alhambra ticket office at 9 am, me and ian were planning on walking or bus there
- then at like 8:25 AM or something klein goes "ALRIGHT I BOOK AN UBER IT COME IN 5 MINUTES, IF YOU WANT TO COME THEN BE DOWN IN 5 MINUTES" so then I'm just like wtf and rush everything and get down in time and make the uber lesgo.
- alhambra was very cool, i wish i could share my photos but i didnt get the time to get things sorted out, idk how to share it but i posted this on my story
ian took it and i knew i had to get one after seeing those flags. It goes EU flag, andalusia flag, spain flag, and then granada flag. It was kinda crowded so I got a bit lucky with no one in the frame.
- There were also a ton of like pond swamp things and there were like spiders gliding on them and there were frogs and there were lily pads and there were flies and wasps everywhere around it, but it was really cool to see the frog the frogs are cute.
- Yea my favorite part of it was the castle and the viewpoint where you could really just get a holistic 360 view of the entire city. I could point out the areas in town, i spotted the big cathedral in granada, the ciencias building, and just noticing little details and stuff. It's so nice that viewpoint is seriously stunning, especially after living here for like 3 weeks.
- at like 1 pm we left the alhambra and i rested a bit, ate lunch which was alright it was a soup thing and then egg, jamon, two different types of chorizo or sausage, potatoes, and pork. And then the strawberry smoothie thing
- then after lunch I took a nap from like 4-5:40 which was crazy that was a good nap especially since I didn't sleep much the day before
- Then me and Ian went back to the alhmabra since our tickets would work all-day until 8 pm when it closes. We just visited the places in the garden that we didn't go with our group and also some other areas, it was really cool, the garden is cool and the swamps are cool. I wish I could share the photos and vids, I took a lot on my gopro too.
- Then we made the long walk home, on the way back I bought a smoothie for 5 euros they just blended up some strawberries and pomegranite and water it was def healthy and hydrating. It was a long walk cuz the alhambra is on a hill so it was so steep walking up and then down.
- then we ate dinner, croqueta and a salad with croutons, it was good i like the croquetas, i remember at first croqueta was the first meal we had at the homstay and i thought it was just ok but now i like them a lot, they grew on me. Also a banana yogurt afterwards
- Then after dinner I just did nightime routine things, im gonna go to bed somewhat early it is 11:58 PM as I'm wrapping this post up, im gonna wake up at like 6:40 AM tomorrow or something to take a bus to the sierra nevada national park. Tomorrow will be last day in Granada :') wow it has flew by
